My daughter decides to come to my rescue. We always dreamed of leaving together in a brownstone in Brooklyn.

“We could have garden space at the rear and on the roof.”

“We could have a pool for the kids and family cookouts, fruit cocktails and iced tea.”

“Who knows, she adds, it might have a decorative fireplace and plenty of high windows to let in the sunlight.”

And, I say, “in the summertime, we’d go to concerts at Prospect Park; they’d have Tabou Combo playing compas music, or Boukman Eksperyans entertaining us at the sound of rasin music. Who knows”

(from: Chapter I, The Fire That Burned My Soul, page 24).

I wonder if I can ever dance again to Gracia Delva or Coupe Cloue Haitian Tunes. This morning I am listening to some good music: Strings plays through the speakers, then Cesaria Evora who is from African Cap Vert. Summer is not yet over but later, I will let Edy Brisseaux, one of my favorite Haitian musicians interpret Have Yourself a Merry Christmas on this trumpet… (page 22 on the paperback Retrospectives, true stories and notes; available for 10 dollars on amazon.com).

My latest book: Retrospectives, true stories and notes which has been published on Create Space for reading only has now been made available on amazon kindle direct publishing in paperback $10 and e-book $5.99. I will be providing excerpts from this book for promotional purposes. I invite you to buy the book in support of my activities as a writer. So far, I do not see your presence on the sales graph provided by kindle direct publishing.

I invite you to purchase my new book: Retrospectives, true stories and notes. It includes two true stories, some notes on political themes and some poetry and is available on amazon.com

In the Fire That Burned My Soul, the author recalls being caught in a fire in her apartment building and her reactions.  From there we are taken to the hospital and her sister in Philadelphia. Her husband comes back from Haiti where there is political chaos and he recounts the events there.

The Disappearance of Mrs. Greene is about the loss of a friendship. We know it is the author’s one of favorite themes. It is also about racism in the hospital’s research department where she volunteers.

The stories are told in vivid and moving language.

You will enjoy reading the book.
